From my own tests, the best model for writing complex, nuanced prose is Opus 4.6. All the next versions are impossible to coax into good writing. Gemini is OK, GPT ok but requires significant prompt tuning.

FWIW, I was on MP for years and never really liked it. Tried all possible dosages and delivery methods. I switched to lisdexamfetamine a couple of years ago and never looked back. 0 side effects apart from my mouth.

I'm building Prospex (https://prospex.ch), a lead-generation tool for B2B salespeople in Switzerland. This is just a side-project as I have a full-time job.

Basically, I'm collecting public data (official registries, job boards, company websites, linkedin etc) to surface sales opportunity signals, like leadership change, new branch/market entry, funding rounds, etc.

On top of being a really good OLAP database, what has been a game changer for me is the built-in connectors for bringing in data from remote sources. It can manage automatic recurring import of a s3 folder containing parquet/json files and it can also connect directly to Postgres. For our data warehouse at a medium sized newspaper, we switched from Druid+postgres+trino to just one big clickhouse node and I’ve never looked back. Much more performant, practical, and a lot less maintenance.

I wonder how it can be trusted if a LLM generates it. They say that "Attribution and citation are preserved in every interaction." but I don't know that's possible with an LLM.

When the state subsidizes healthcare, it is in its interest to lower the costs/improve productivity.
